This is the One Who loves me
The day is Yours, the night also is Yours; You have established the [starry] light and the sun. (Psalm 74:16 AMP)
The One Who made the sun and the starry night — He is huge and owns all, created all.
He loves me — even me. In His ultimate bigness and mightiness, He has set His full attention and efforts on winning me, on showering me with His love, affections, and gifts. He has not set out to sweep me away with the refuse of the galaxy; instead to redeem me, to heal me, to make me something for His glory.
This God of the starry light is the One Who sits beside me, Who goes before me, Who walks alongside me, Who stands behind me. He is the God of old, of the legends from ancient times, this almost comic book, larger than any evil, bigger than big, almighty hero…and His strong arm is mine, His power is mine to call upon, He has given me His name and made His strength as if it were in my own body.
This is the One Who loves me. This is the One Who walks by my side, Who never leaves my side, Who ever lives to make Himself known to me, and to know my deepest thoughts. This maker of all things and all creation and all that exists outside of creation — He loves me personally and has turned His full attention to capture my full attention.
How can anything ever be of concern to me again? How could I ever worry or be dismayed? And what can I do but offer my heart, my mind, and my strength completely to Him?
